NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--Shares of Matrixx Initiatives Inc. (
MTXX) plummeted 26% after ABC News' 'Good Morning America' aired early Friday a segment featuring a woman who claims she lost her sense of smell using Matrixx's nasal-spray cold remedy, Zicam, which contains zinc.
'Good Morning America', which boasts 5 million daily viewers, aired the piece about Zicam between 8:00 and 8:30 a.m. ET, said spokesperson Bridgette Maney. ABC is owned by the Walt Disney Co. (DIS).
Dow Jones Newswires ran an article on Jan. 30 saying the Food and Drug Administration was looking into complaints that the use of the nasal spray may be leading some consumers to lose their sense of smell. The article also noted that some studies have found that a high concentration of zinc, injected into the nose, may cause anosmia, or a lost sense of smell. At least three lawsuits have been filed by individuals who used the cold remedy against Matrixx and Zicam LLC, its wholly-owned subsidiary.
On Monday, Matrixx issued a press release claiming it was unaware of an FDA inquiry into the safety of its product. The company wasn't immediately available Friday.
Shares of Matrixx recently traded at $9.70, down $3.35, on volume of 2.2 million shares, compared with average daily volume of 196,926 million shares.

=DJ Matrixx Down -3: Report Notes Others Lost Smell
A spokesman for Matrixx said the company will be issuing a release this afternoon addressing recent media reports about Zicam.
The 'Good Morning America' piece on Zicam also spoke with Dr. Bruce Jafek, of the Department of Otolaryngology at the University of Colorado School of Medicine, who claims that he knows of more patients who lost their sense of smell after using Zicam.
The segment, which lasted roughly four minutes, went on to list studies that noted a relationship between zinc and anosmia.
Before the segment aired on 'Good Morning America,' a similar piece aired Thursday on ABC News' Denver affiliate, KMGH. The journalist who reported the piece airing in Denver also wrapped the piece up for 'Good Morning America.'
Zicam Cold Remedy, one of 10 Zicam products, accounted for about 60% of Matrixx's revenue last year.

=DJ Matrixx Down -4: Clinicals Showed No Smell Issues - Co.
During Matrixx's three clinical trials for Zicam Cold Remedy, none of the patients reported a loss of smell, said Tim Clarot, vice president of research and development.
"Any adverse event is all documented," he said, noting that side effects varied little between the placebo and the active drug.
The first trial involved about 200 people, he said, while the next two trials both involved about 85 people.
"We are confident that this is a safe" product, Clarot said.
Matrixx's nasal spray contained a buffer solution and a "very low level of zinc," he said.
Studies that claim a connection between zinc and loss of smell were performed on animals, using a zinc sulfate that is a "very concentrated solution."
Zicam Cold Remedy accounted for about 60% of Matrixx's revenues last year. For 2003, the company reported sales of $23.5 million.
